About the Role

We are seeking a Senior RF Engineer with specialized experience in RF communications and control systems for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and other military platforms. This role requires a strong background in RF telecommunication design, antenna systems, RF front-end (RFFE) development , and control system integration for tactical environments.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, simulation, integration, and validation of RF and wireless subsystems , ensuring robust and secure communication in GPS-challenged, hostile, and dynamic defence scenarios. Experience with MIL-grade standards, EMI / EMC validation, and OTA testing is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• D esign and integration of RF communication platforms (e.g., 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, GPS / GNSS, Bluetooth) into defence-grade UGVs and autonomous systems.
• Design and simulate antennas, matching networks, and RF front-end modules using industry-standard tools (e.g., HFSS, CST, ADS).
• Perform link budget, power budget, and range analysis for tactical wireless systems under military operating conditions.
• Develop and validate transceiver modules for rugged platforms ensuring reliable data links under jamming / interference threats.
• Create and review circuit schematics , and collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers for optimal layout, thermal, and shielding integration .
• Conduct EMI / EMC simulations and validations in accordance with MIL-STD and ISO guidelines.
• Oversee lab testing, bench validation.
• Execute Over-the-Air (OTA) testing in shielded chambers for wireless compliance, range validation, and RF coexistence studies.
• Integrate RF communication systems with onboard control systems and vehicle autonomy stacks.
• Work with communication protocols including CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, USB, and Ethernet for system-level integration.
• Contribute to control system design and integration for remote vehicle operation, telemetry, and command systems.
